From the dependable classics to the boldest neons, each collection is designed with purpose, personality, and a whole lot of British flair.

About Sophia

Every piece of Ponies & Pups gear is handcrafted by me in my workshop in the South Downs, East Sussex. As a lifelong horse and dog owner (and mum to Milo the mischievous Sprocker and Lily the snuggle-loving Jack Russell x Pug), I was fed up with gear that couldn't handle British weather. So I created something better—waterproof, stink-proof, and available in every colour you can imagine.

When I'm not in the workshop, you'll find me on muddy walks, perfecting my next colour palette, or convincing Milo that stones are not toys. 🐾
